You can also handle this with SetupBuilder if you want. No need to use
VS2010 <g>. SoftVelocity is doing it in the Clarion 7 install. If .NET
Framework 2 is not available, the installer downloads the Framework from the
server and installs it automatically.

Oh, sorry! You said "Of course, you can deploy it with SetupBuilder if you
want. No problem at all!

Just download it from the Microsoft web site and install it from your
install."

and I took it as you could not set it up as a pre-req in SB. I just noticed
this in VS2010 when I was testing an install that creates a msi from couple
of msm files from Crystal Reports XI for deployment. On my first test it
started downloading .NET 4.0. Don't know the size but it seemed pretty big
so I started investigating and found the pre-req in VS2010 install builder.
I'm REALLY glad I have SB and don't have to rely on VS2010 for installs<g>
but this one worked like a charm for what I needed

Best regards,

Thank you!!!

BTW, SetupBuilder has a built-in Core PreRequisite for .NET 4 (see attached
screenshot). But Ole needs 3.5 and this is a hefty 231MB redistributable.
That's why we do not make it available on our web site.

I have developed a runtime include script for .NET 3.5 now and will make it
available tomorrow.

Quick note: we plan to support a "MSM Merge Module Compiler" in SetupBuilder
7.5 (powered by our SBMSI compiler technology). This allows to convert
standard Windows Installer Merge Modules (.msm) into native Windows
Installer runtime deployment modules for SetupBuilder.

Thanks,
Friedrich

It looked like hte 4.0 download was pretty big, which is why I noticed it as
it was looking like it would take a while This was on a XP SP3 test VM (I
think it's SP3, could be SP2!) and I'm not sure what .NET it had on it.

Looking forward to it In the meantime, if you have VS2010, it is doable
with it. The installer doesn't look good, but it's better than nothing<g>
